Exotic Sodas Now at Mister Smokes: Airheads, Warheads, Sangaria Ramu & Faygo
We've added a lineup of exotic sodas to our Buena Park location. Whether you're into nostalgic candy flavors, Japanese import-style drinks, or Detroit's most iconic regional soda — we've got something different for you. Here's a breakdown of every brand we carry.
Airheads Soda
Airheads Soda takes everything you love about the classic candy — those bold, sweet, fruit-forward flavors — and turns it into a carbonated drink. Made under the Airheads brand (owned by Perfetti Van Melle, one of the largest candy manufacturers in the world), these sodas are a direct extension of one of the most recognized candy names in the U.S.
Expect flavors that mirror the original candy line: Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, Cherry, White Mystery, and more. Each one is sweet and vibrant — a good pick if you want something that tastes exactly like a candy you already know.
Best for: Candy fans who want that Airheads taste in drink form.
Warheads Sour Soda
Warheads has been the go-to extreme sour candy since the '90s, and the soda lives up to the brand's reputation. Made by Impact Confections — the company behind the iconic Warheads candy — Warheads Sour Soda brings that signature face-puckering sour punch to a carbonated format.
It's not aggressively sour the way the hard candy is, but there's a real tartness to it that separates it from your standard sweet soda. Flavors include Black Cherry, Watermelon, Blue Raspberry, Green Apple, and Lemon — all with that recognizable Warheads edge.
Best for: Anyone who likes their drinks with a sour kick. Nostalgia guaranteed.
Sangaria Ramu Bottle
This one is different from everything else in the lineup. Sangaria is a Japanese beverage company, and the Ramu Bottle is their take on ramune — a classic Japanese carbonated lemonade-style drink that's been popular in Japan since the late 1800s.
What makes it instantly recognizable is the bottle itself: a traditional codd-neck glass bottle sealed with a glass marble. To open it, you push the marble down into the bottle with the included plastic pusher — it drops into the neck and carbonation releases. The marble rattles around as you drink. It's a whole experience.
The flavor is a light, lightly sweetened carbonated lemonade — refreshing and not overly sweet. It's a staple at Japanese festivals and a cult favorite for anyone into Japanese pop culture, anime, or just unique drinks from around the world.
Best for: Trying something genuinely different. The marble bottle is half the fun.
Faygo Soda
Faygo is a Detroit original. Founded in 1907 by brothers Perry and Ben Feigenson — bakers who used their frosting flavor expertise to create soda — Faygo has been making bold, unique sodas for over 100 years. It's a regional classic from the Midwest that's earned a national cult following.
Faygo is known for flavors you won't find from mainstream brands. Rock & Rye is their most iconic flavor — a cream soda meets vanilla root beer hybrid that's distinctly Detroit. Other standouts include Moon Mist (a blend of grape, orange, and lemon), Red Pop (a sweet red berry soda), Cotton Candy, and classic Grape.
Beyond the flavor, Faygo has deep roots in hip-hop culture — particularly through its association with Detroit rap. It's a brand that carries real cultural weight, and it's been a staple at smoke shops and corner stores across the country for years.
Best for: Iconic flavors with real history. Rock & Rye is the one to try first.

Why We Carry Exotic Sodas
Mister Smokes has always been more than a smoke shop — it's a spot for the community. Exotic sodas fit naturally into what we do. They're the kind of find you don't see at a regular grocery store, they appeal to the same crowd that shops with us, and they make the experience of stopping by a little more interesting.
We're always adding products that align with the culture we serve. Whether it's a glass piece, a Puffco, or a Faygo Rock & Rye — the goal is the same: carry things worth carrying and let the community decide what sticks.
